Seventeen community groups in South Australia have received a solar boost from the federal government.
They will share a total of $300,000 worth of solar panels under the Solar Towns initiative.
"Together these 17 projects will generate around 320KW of renewable energy, which will help these hard-working community organisations lower their electricity bills and is also a great result for the environment," Environment Minister Greg Hunt said in a statement on Sunday.
Community groups in selected parts of Victoria and Queensland are also able to apply for round three of the program.
